Wow. This was one of the most triggering books I've ever read in my entire life. It was incredibly well written, horrifying, vivid, and while it has violent aspects it wasn't overtly so. There was something about this that was so visceral and felt like it could only be told by a victim of abuse and it left me reeling.  I can handle a lot but this felt like Room but a suspense version and man it gave me nightmares. Fantastic debut but be warned if you've ever been a victim. I don't think I'll ever be able to read another by this authour again for my own mental health but it really was that good.

Wow! This was a 5-star thriller for me.  
A serial killer's story told from three outside perspectives of women in his life.  The writing in this book is done so well.  I know some people don't like the second person perspective, but I thought it was so well done here and really moved the story along!  I could not stop turning the pages, and I don't want to say too much because the small parts that reveal themselves along the way are part of the reason I liked the book so much!  I hope that this one gets the attention it deserves, this author is definitely one to watch for me.
